You jump to incredible conclusions based on flimsy evidence. It appears you have made homosexuality a religion. That is your choice albeit an odd one as it won’t save you when you come face to face with Jesus.
You need to repent of your sin that is an abomination before it is too late!
In one respect you are right. Those who focus only on homosexuality are not very bright unless the subject is just homosexuality. Then those who diss that are not very bright.
The context was all forms of fornication/immorality, not just one. They are all bad/sin.
exactly,
and those who are ignoring this Truth are allowing their conscience to be seared.
When they had not yet retired, and the people of the city, the people of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, the entire populace from every end[of the city].
As you say, the Jewish Bible states that the entire populace from every end of the city converged on Lot's home. This means, as you say, that both the men and the women and possibly children were involved in this confrontation. So, where did this 'men only' scripture come from that the anti-gay religious brigade use so persistently with which to denigrate homosexuals?
In the bible when it says----"to know them"----it means sex. Do you think God was mad at the city for wanting to have a tea party with the angels he sent?
He wasn’t mad at them for homosexuality either...
Religious people used to believe that thunder storms and lightning bolts were directed by God to "discipline" his servants and teach them important lessons. Have you ever thought about investing in a lightning rod?

Aye, and according to Lynne Chenney, wife of VP Dick Chenney, one of the primary reasons we have freedom of religion is because James Madison, one of our primary founders of the Constitution, had what appears to have been epilepsy---thought of as demon possession in those days.
But never ever think that the uber religious will not find a way to demonize other people---and always about a "sin" that they themselves haven't fallen into.
Now if the ultra conservative churches wanted a sin to work on that inflicts almost 35% of us---it would be gluttony. Let me think of the last time I heard a sermon in church about gluttony-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------thought long and hard---NEVER. But those four percent of Americans who were born homosexual, and only a small percentage who ever attend churches that demonize them----several times a year.
What it is, even if those fundamentalists believe it-----is hypocrisy because they are generally hypocrites.
And that's a "Truth," they will never be able to face, and therefore their conscience is "seared."
